Hi #neuromastodon, today the latest preprint of an extremely cool, 100% Uruguay-based team has been released  

A filopodia-based dendritic mechanosensory compartment in CSF-contacting neurons

There we show that, contrary to what zebrafish has taught, these spinal cord neurons from adult mice (CSF-cN) lack cilia. Furthermore, they show multiple filopodia and are able to sense mechanical stimuli through PKD2L1. That, and other nice stuff.

If you didn't know what to read this weekend, here you have it:

Hope you enjoy it.

Otro pequeño orgullo de nuestro laboratorio del #iibce ya está en @biorxiv_neursci .
Un importante volumen de trabajo sobre las conexinas en la reparación de la médula espinal.
Gran equipo #MadeInUruguay lo hizo posible, gracias a financiación extranjera de #WingsForLife.

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who has the ZDF rat strain (Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats) in Europe?
These are the hooded rats with a leptin receptor mutation, where some get very fat and diabetic. We have trouble in our colony and are looking to add some new blood.

Dear #neuromastodon - I'm joining the University of Delaware's department of Psychological & Brain Sciences​. My lab will explore the interaction of memory and perception. I will recruit 1-2 PhD students to begin in fall of 2025. I will be at #BernsteinConference and #SfN24, and excited to chat about possibilities. More infos on http://schottdorflab.com! Plz boost 🔬

O man... I thought that the OpenEphys ONIX system was just a new kind of headstage that works with most of their old hardware.

Does anyone have an ONIX? Is it worth it for just multichannel LFP or tetrode recordings?
